EIC+ACTC / SBTPG SHOWING REFUND!

[PATH]

Seems IRS are not following the supposed late February updates mentioned on their website.

WMR shows PATH message, yet SBTPG shows they have my refund. My tax year is now over.

Not sure why IRS keeps throwing us off with these supposed dates. Oh well.

Good luck to everyone, hoping for a fast refund deposit for you all as well.

Till next year.

Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit may experience a refund hold. According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue these refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting February 27, 2019, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

Where’s My Refund? ‎on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go mobile app will be updated February 23 for the vast majority of early filers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. These taxpayers will not see a refund date on Where’s My Refund? or through their software packages until then. The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so Where’s My Refund? remains the best way to check the status of a refund. Where’s My Refund? is only updated once daily, usually overnight, so checking it more often will not produce new or different results.

Congrats!! So they are NOT holding them! Thanks for the proof

[Kie]

What time does the Sbtpg website update?

[Kristi]

Thank you Stanley!

@kristi

If your in default on your student loan they will take it all and keep taking it until your loan is paid off or you get on a payment plan and make at least 9 payments i think before they send you a letter saying you are out of default.

Call the offset line to check if you have an offset. If you dont then you are good to go. Just get on a payment plan before it does happen because it is hard to get back. You would have to prove a hardship like your house is in forclosure or your getting evicted or something like your disabled and cant work.

Best to get ahead of it because they dont play around and you will be devasted if it happens to you.

[Jessica1873]

My estimated refund amount has showed ever since a day after filing. Doesn’t say anything about the PATH.

[WicK3d]

ah yea, i never payed any attention to it =)

[starks]

@WicK3d I figured thats what the message was, people are saying that it changed to that. That message is always there as soon as your refund amount shows lol…

[WicK3d]

didnt mean to post twice wasnt showing up that was for @starks

[WicK3d]

@starks

“TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
If you have Earned Income Credit and/or Additional Child Tax Credit on your return, CLICK HERE for PATH Act info. Check your refund status at (WWW.IRS.GOV/REFUNDS). If your refund is delayed call 800-304-3107 to see if all or some of your refund is being collected through the Treasury Offset Program. If we receive your refund, it will be processed according to your original instructions.”

[Katherine]

@stanley my whole return last year was offset due to student loans and they didn’t take the fee because it just went straight to them.

[Kristi]

@stanley I’m concerned about the student loan thing myself. Do you know much about it?

[Jen]

Anyone that is showing amounts on SBTPG did you loose bars in WMR?

[Kristi]

My SBTG says nothing about path af all. Just expected and received amounts.

[Stanley]

If you used taxact to file return then you can check republic bank if you elected to have your fees taken out of your refund. I wonder what they do if you get your whole refund offset for student loans and they where going to take the fees from your return? Lol

[starks]

What is the exact message pertaining to path on sbtpg website??? Can someone copy and paste plz

[Cortney]

What is SBTPG?

[Andrea021518]

I noticed on SBTPG today that mine now also has a reference to the PATH message on the website. This was not on there yesterday I don’t know that means, but it did change. They still haven’t received my refund. My WMR never updates till after I get my deposit so SBTPG is for me that best way to check for updates.

[Chris]

My sbtg isn’t referencing the path act yet I am path. Still not showing a deposit just expected. Does this mean I haven’t been processed yet? Accepted 01/31

[MISS Jae]

@Melissa
SBTGP is TurboTax

[Melissa]

If I filed with HRB can I check sbtpg?

[Bobbi]

By the way, SBTPG is also now referencing the PATH act info when u log in. Still only showing expected with $0 rcvd.

[Melissa]

@willbeas 2/01 not 1)01..my bad I mistyped

[WillBeas]

@melissa how did you file 01/01? Are you self employed?

[Melissa]

I filed 1/1 and was accepted within.inutes but I don’t have a Path message. Just TT 152..is that normal to not get path message when you claim EIC?

[WillBeas]

If you paid fees upfront Jenn Sbtpg is no use for you. The bank is only if you had tt fees deducted from your federal.

[Jenn]

I used TT as well but I paid my fees upfront. Would I be able to check my status on SBTPG too? Also, which amount do I enter: the full tax refund or my federal refund? I’ve tried both and I’m not allowed to create an account! What am I doing wrong?

[Bobbi]

@Amy
SBTPG is Santa Barbara Tax Product Group
If u filed thru someone like TurboTax and had fees and elected to have those fees withdrawn directly from ur return, they are the transfer company.

[Jimzzz]

Curiosity just because somebody finds something offensive or racist doesn’t mean it’s racist or offensive. Not in this day and age.

[Missy]

I woke up to this:
Refund Status Results

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.
Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information
Please Note:
For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.

And my refund amount is missing from the left side. Would someone please tell me what this means? I’ve never had it before.

[Bobbi]

Idk if anyone else has noticed but I woke this morning and checked SBTPG and it now has the reference to the PATH msg. Still showing expected but no rcvd.

[Nesswah]

He posted a horribly photoshopped picture. PATH is lifted by a computer system. Everyone waiting has a C FREEZE at this time. Also, no one is saying they are getting refunds from SBTPG on Intuit. T.T AnswerXchange is my stomping ground.

[Amy]

what is SBTPG?

[Rowleypoley]

@Immh

I know!! When I did that I got so excited for about 5 seconds! Lol Then I was like 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Immh]

@Rowleypoley

I may have, lol. I didn’t really pay any attention to the year. Now that I’m thinking about it I probably did click the wrong year. I was puzzled as to why it would change so quickly 🤦‍♀️ Now it makes sense

[Rowleypoley]

@Immh
Did you accidentally click on last years transcript? I did that once before, so maybe you read the wrong one?

[Immh]

Anyone else transcript update? Mine updated and when I went back to get the screenshot the 846 was gone. I am path so maybe it automatically removed the 846 until after mid feb.

[Immh]

Transcript just updated with 846 code 2/22/19

[1099]

@PATH

Did you receive your refund? If you don’t reply, then I’m sure you did lol

[Curiosity]

@pat last year sbtg didn’t get my funds until around noonish & I didn’t get them in my bank until around 3 in the afternoon

[Curiosity]

😂🤣 Goodluck with that!

[pat]

my was suppose to be 2,6 i have netspend. sbtg still shows my amount but 0 received i guess it wont be today

[MISS Jae]

Yep, here we go….someone was triggered. Not even gonna further elaborate on what I meant. Pointless. Just gonna MAKE TAX SEASON GREAT AGAIN!

[Curiosity]

Usually when people say “not to be rude” they are about to say something rude. FYI if someone tells you they think something you said is racist 10/10 it probably is and if you can’t speak to someone without being perceived as “racist” or “offensive” then you’re right you should just take a vow of silence and not speak to anyone anymore. Not to be rude…..😂🙄

[MISS Jae]

Not to be rude, but some people are getting carried away with the “being attacked” victim mentality. Not just on here, but in general. Everything is either “racist” or “offensive” and pretty soon people won’t be able to even speak to each other anymore!!

[Sarah]

See I knew that was the case. Same thing happened last year. People saw the money but was not deposited or made available until a certain date after the 15th.

[PATH]

@Ese808 Yea, first time today. Didn’t expect any updates until Feb 9. Then I saw on intuit people claiming SBTPG RECEIVED refund. So I checked, and sure enough it was there.

[Curiosity]

Doesn’t necessarily prove that you had path either. But either way congrats to you. If my money was here early I’d be off this site again until next year…. 😂🤣

[PATH]

SBTPG shows AMOUNT EXPECTED and AMOUNT RECEIVED. Both are showing same amounts.

SBTPG will deposit same week when RECEIVED.
So I’ll keep everyone updated when it’s deposited in my account.

[Ese808]

Dates says 02/01/2019. Was tonight the first time you checked SBTPG? Or am I reading something wrong lol?

[Sarah]

I don’t believe that amount is available currently, it says received not available. But either way, congrats. I would find it extremely odd seeing as I work closely with IRS, for this to happen. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anything is possible I suppose.

[PATH]

I can’t post link for some reason. Let me create a way for you guys to view it on a social site.

[Curiosity]

Nobody has attacked you once….we asked for proof which you have failed to provide. 🙄

[Wick3d]

Dunno if u can post ss on here might have to post link to a site u upload to

[Wick3d]

Sorry man I wasn’t attacking u sorry if thought i was

Same thing happen to me last year when my sbtp came on feb21 was total dick to me when I wasn’t lyeing

[Wick3d]

Seew

[Ese808]

Just wanted to ask,

I filed through Jackson Hewitt, chose to have fees taken from refund. Balance due on JH website now says 0$. Does this mean anything ?

[PATH]

Yes, red for deductions, green for the amount that I will receive. Almost home, so I’ll post a screenshot.

[Wick3d]

Auto correct ment to say SBTPG site

[Wick3d]

PATH is there a huge pie chart on the ship site when u login? If there is then I believe u

[Wick3d]

Yea im on here every year :)

When your money actually gets on the site there will be huge pie chart showing where fees and act are…. last year mine went on Feb 21 around 3-4am and hit bank around 8am

[PATH]

I’ve been doing this for way too long to not know what I’m seeing. Santa Barbara has my refund.

The deductions have been made.
When I’m able to, I will post a screenshot.

I understand how this time of the year makes everyone emotional. This is not a race to see who gets their refund the fastest. I do hope everyone gets their refunds as soon as possible.

So good luck to all. No need to attack me or anyone.

[Sarah]

@Wick3d Exactly. Btw I remember seeing your name last year lol.

[Wick3d]

People prob saw the expected amount but didn’t notice the revived amount being 0… got overly excited and posted something

[The Sensible Guy]

FFS. The IRS is in fact following the law. Just because SBTGP shows your refund amount on their site does not mean they have received it or that you will get it early. Your refund seems to have been approved but I bet you real cash money that you will not recieve your refund until after the 15th. The SBTGP site updated to what they expect to receive from the IRS and will deduct their fee and release the funds some time after the 15th of February.

STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!

[•°Karma°•]

The day after I filed on turbo tax 1/15 I received the email that i was accepted by the IRS. I checked my sbbt account and the amount I am to recieve shows.

IT ALWAYS SHOWS ONCE THE ACCOUNT IS CREATED. It lets you know that they expect this certain amount and once it is deposited it will show as received MINUS the fees you may or may have not had.

[evanne]

Congrats

[Curiosity]

@path

Please do. We would all love to see “what you’re seeing” for ourselves…

[PATH]

@Sarah

I know what I’m seeing, it’s there.
I’ll post a screenshot shortly.

Good luck to everyone.

[Sarah]

If this is true, I agree with @ace7018 it might be showing but won’t be available till after the 15th. I remember that happening to people last year.

[ace7018]

Go and post screenshot on facebook just make sure you black out identifying info. I have a great feeling this is SBBT showing expected amount not the amount actually showing as there.

[Wick3d]

They said there WMR shows PATH msg and still got it today

[MaryB]

My guess is that the person does NOT have the credits held up by PATH.

[Rozilyn]

So you had earned income credit and you getting paid already

[Bull$hitcard]

Thanks MISS jae

[Randall]

Please tell us when you filed/were accepted :D Grats!

[Kate]

When did you file/get accepted? Congrats to you !

[Wick3d]

Ah thank ya, and I agree

[MISS Jae]

Dear Wicked,
BULSHITCARD was merely saying that the IRS must have made an error because he(or she) just got their refund as well, with same credits, and since it was an error on the IRS, they aren’t getting it back!

[Wick3d]

@bullshitcard

Come again?

[Bull$hitcard]

Dats wats up cuh jus ghot mines too irs dun f uped hope day know they not getin it back. Happy irs season

[Njgirl02]

Congrats!

I’ve had a feeling all along,that tax refunds would be different this year,due to the government shutdown. They are working against the clock, until February 15th!
